I was out at a maple sugar farm last weekend and took a few pictures. Here are side by side comparisons before and after photos.
The photos were processed in Photoshop with the Topaz Adjust 4 plugin.
In both cases the Topaz Adjust filters were applied with Color blending options to fine tune and tone down the effects. Some curves adjustments were also used in processing the photos.
The Topaz Adjust filters will make for very saturated colors and they are often used in a final post-processing step for HDR images.
Factoid: It takes 40 liters of maple sap to make 1 liter of maple syrop!
